Every time the Free People Catalog arrives in my mailbox, I want to immediately go out and photograph a session with a bohemian vibe.  It is such an inspiring catalog and I just love the look and feel of the photographs inside.

That is exactly how I felt when I received this amazing session from Heather Bookout of Bookout Studios in Huntsville, Alabama!  These images are beyond amazing and the fact that there is a custom designed dress used in this session is fabulous!!!

My main goal with each senior is help them feel something to create a more emotionally charged image. One way I do this is by asking them to close their eyes and think about someone they love and then hold that feeling when they open their eyes.
